The riders then rode off leaving her on the ground– laughing at her plight.

Now the victim’s furious granddaughter has taken to social media to ask for witnesses. She posted an appeal on the popular Milton Keynes Moan Facebook page, which has more than 50,000 members in the city.

She said: “My nan was walking and two girls went into the back of her and decided to leave her there on the floor whilst laughing, not even stopping to ask if she was okay.”

Her nan’s foot was broken in two places, she said.

Outraged readers were quick to give their views about the incident.

One wrote: “e-scooters need to be banned, people just joyride on them anyway.”

Another posted: “Hope she's ok. I had an incident where a guy went into me in MK market at top speed. Span me right round and I landed on the floor. Concussion and damaged cartilage in my nose. He didn't stop or even look round.”

Others condemned the girls’ attitude as “disgusting” and urged the granddaughter to see if she could find footage from the shops’ CCTV to hand to police.

Anybody who witnessed the incident should contact police online or on 101.
